Deciding on Adult Home Care?

Every person has their own things they like to do or ways they like things done. Milky tea or strong coffee? Red sauce or brown? Shoes off in the house? Judge Judy or Match of the Day? Bingo on a Tuesday or Pub on a Thursday? Our job is to make sure that where possible, the things you like to do and the way you like to do them continue.

Before you decide on who you would like to provide care for you at home it is important to arrange a meeting and discuss any needs that you may have. Some small but very important examples are what you like to be called. A person may be called “Yvonne” but they prefer to be called “Eve.”

Other information we ask for could be if you have friends you would like to meet up with at a social club or regular activity you like to do such as walk the dog in the park, but you need some extra help to do these things. What foods do you like to eat? All of this information helps us to understand what we can do to support you.
